Get it back to how it was with the standard bumper James. I always prefered it with the standard one. And keep the BBS wheels for definate. They really suit your car.

progress, today i changed my headgasket. no pics because i just wanted to get on with it lol

i measured the headbolts that removed and one had stretched further than the rest so im thinking that this might be the reason why it leaked?

i dunno if it still leaks or not with the GM gasket and bolts as it started to piss it down so i'll finish it off tomorrow nite. ive only got to refit the alternator and belt, cambelt cover and put some coolant into it then its alive again

THE RESULT

battery is now in the spare wheel well, kill switch fitted under the bonnet, fan and temp gauges wired in, scuttle panel and wipers fitted, £20 of optimax and 4miles lol

engine cut out twice but we know what is causing this so will get this sorted out 2morrow night then i'll get the other seat in and get the seatbelts and other little things sorted out over the weekend.

heres a very short video from tonight filmed by my brother on his mobile in his work van
